Today is Fat Tuesday; it’s time to celebrate!!! I love King Cake and in the South it’s all in who you know in who makes the best. I love this short cut version! It’s quick and easy for when you crave that sweet treat. Perfect for breakfast or dessert or just a random snack. I stored them in the fridge just because of the cream cheese. If you let them sit out a little before you eat them they come out perfect or you can heat them for a few seconds in the microwave. Either way you’ll be addicted I promise!
